All depends whether you like to play links or parkland courses.
Parkland....
For the money they've spent on it Green Drive its very expensive seeing as it's only oper 7/8 months of the year.
Staining is a farmers field with some golf holes on it, as it matures it may get better.
Blackpool park (Stanley park) the only municipal golf course on the fylde that gives starters and casual golfer the chance to play at an affordable price.
Only problem, the clowncil are hell bent on taking it away from the Blackpool public
Fairhaven, cost brewsters and long waiting list. Lovely course.
Poulton, 9 holer. Not played it for 30 years so don't really know what it's like nowadays.
Links......
Royal, great if you are a business man with loads of cash who is not interested in playing competition golf. If you join never leave as you'll never be able to rejoin!!
St Anne's Old links, (royal lytham wannabees) big fees long waiting list, far too penal for your average club golfer (quote members)
Fleetwood, for some reason very difficult for long standing members to book times. If you're a junior or new member though it's not a problem. Decent course.
North Shore, the only true links in Blackpool as they like to advertise themselves. The most pointless course on the fylde and have had somewhat of an exodus of players recently. Big open field where you can blast it anywhere.
Links/parkland
Knott end. Lovely course but out at the back of beyond, have heard they're experiencing financial difficulties at moment.
American holiday type.
Herons reach (de vere) Great if you want to talk about how big your house is, how fast and expensive your car is or how well your business is doing. No clubhouse and you'll have to fit in around the hotel guests if you want to play at the weekend.
